From #1 New York Times-bestselling author W.E.B.
Griffin comes the dramatic new novel in the Clandestine
Operations series about the Cold War, the fledgling
Central Intelligence Agency—and a new breed of warrior.
January, 1946: Two WACs leave an officers’ club in Munich,
and four Soviet NKGB agents kidnap them at knifepoint in
the parking lot and shove them in the back of an
ambulance. That is the agents’ first mistake, and their
last. One of the WACs, a blonde woman improbably named
Claudette Colbert, works for the new Directorate of
Central Intelligence, and three of the men end up dead and
the fourth wounded.
The “incident,” however, will send shock waves rippling up
and down the line, and have major repercussions not only
for Claudette, but for her boss, James Cronley, Chief DCI-
Europe, and for everybody involved in their still-evolving
enterprise. For, though the Germans may have been
defeated, Cronley and his company are on the front lines
of an entirely different kind of war now. The enemy has
changed, the rules have changed—and the stakes have never
been higher.
